I've now learned many wacky genetics facts while trying to figure out how Visitor biology works. Yes, I know, with that show I'm putting way more thought into it than they have, but mine works with what we know from the show. It's not a system found on Earth, that's for sure. Not that it's really going to make a difference to the fic, I'm just obsessive/curious like that.

Speaking of Castle -- hee. I have no deep thoughts. Or really any thoughts about it, but it's fun. Being a Trucco fan and not particularly a show fan, even though I watch it occasionally, I just naturally ship him and got all 'awww' on his behalf when it looked like Beckett was blowing him off.) But really, to make it a credible 'ship, they kind of have to stop with other characters asking permission.

And 24 finally did what I expected them to do with Dana from hour one, so no big shock there. But her telephone sob story was fun to watch. She should've killed Cole, though.

Visitor alien biology is very unlikely to help you in an Earthly context!

(and just to be sure you realize, I totally made this up!) But, to keep it simple, Visitors have queens who are female, but can produce two kinds of eggs. Unfertilized eggs produce workers. There are two types of males: soldiers and defenders. Mating with the first produces more soldiers (as we've seen on the show), and mating with the second produces new queens and defenders. But after generations of warfare and unification, the entire society has only a few queens and defenders and that's why the Vs have come to Earth.

(so was that enough? ;) )

No, I'm West coast. so have to wait for LOST. :( (but I know what happens, cuz I read spoilers. *sob*)

Heh, I like your Visitor biology explanation....and I meant if I ever write V fic...hehe....that isn't just John May/Erica or John May/Agent Malik canon-contradicting shippy stuff...

I am so worried they are going to kill everyone! And then not!Locke will be able to leave! And whyyyyyy do Claire and not!Locke have to be all Boomer-and-Cavil-y.....just like what happened on Dollhouse....*sigh*

whyyyyyy do Claire and not!Locke have to be all Boomer-and-Cavil-y.....just like what happened on DollhouseBACK THE HELL UP - they seriously made Claire into the Boomer/Whiskey of this show? *throws something at a wall*

er, two seasons ago? She walked off into the jungle, basically lured by Ghost of Christian and when she came back, three years later show time, she was making creepy fake babies and helping the Smoke Monster. Some people think she died in the Dharma attack and came back 'different', but that's not for certain, AFAIK.
